We are a family winery in Santa Rosa, California. We grow grapes on three estate vineyards here in Sonoma County: Pinot Noir on our home vineyard, Siebert Ranch, in the Russian River Valley, Zinfandel on the Pagnano Vineyard, in the Russian River Valley, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc on the Berger Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain. We also make Russian River Valley Chardonnay, with several single-vineyard offerings.

Ancient Oak’s celebrated winemaker, Greg La Follette, brings extensive experience and a hands-on approach to our wines, starting in the vineyard, where he walks the vine rows and works with Ken and crew to do as much winemaking in the vineyard as possible. His hands-on approach continues through punch-downs, barrel tasting, and sharing his quirky, upbeat personality with all involved. You will often hear Greg say, “I’m the luckiest man alive.” This has much to do with his amazing wife and partner Mara. We are blessed to have both Greg and Mara join us; this expands our family in a quite amazing way.

For more than one hundred years, our namesake – the Ancient Oak – has presided over the Siebert Ranch, witnessing many seasons and generations of vines. We now live here and tend the Pinot Noir vines we helped Grandpa Henry plant.
